I did my time, and I want out
So effusive fate
It doesn't cut,
The soul is not so vibrant
The reckoning, the sickening
Back at you, subversion
Oh the benches were stained with tears and perspiration
The birdies were flying from tree to tree
There was little to say, there was no conversation
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree
And the locusts sang off in the distance
There's an engine at the station and the whistle blows my name
It's callin' callin' callin' come and get aboard the train
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me
Gonna ride a blue train
New York city ... here we come
New York city ... just for fun
New York city ... Broadway lights
New York city ... oh baby, funny nights
New York city ... here we come
It scares me to speak my mind
It might sound self-absorbed
I don't say half of what I think
I wonder what I'm thinkin' for
I'm smelling dead flowers
Listening to the walls again
Been runnin' around, seen many a town,
And maybe you'll find I'm the kind of guy that brags.
But listen to me and see if you don't agree
No melody rolls like that old steel guitar rag
And when they slide that thing, along those strings
Keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow
Keep on callin' my name I'll be there
And if a mirror should break it's easy to take
Cause deep down I know that you care
I´m not superstitious

Và trong con tim anh giờ đây
Vẫn yêu vẫn yêu em nồng say
Dẫu cho cuộc tình không còn vì em yêu đã cách xa thật xa.
Theo những kỷ niệm về đây như môi hôn đầu tiên
Đắm say chi dù chỉ là giấc mơ xa rất xa.
We just had to ask
Maybe some one out of heaven
Would hear us down here
We couldn't bear to stand
How the people leave us waiting
You couldn't be cuter
Plus that
You couldn't be smarter
Plus that
Intelligent face
You have a disgrace
